"Loren Wilkinson is best known among most of us for his passionate, life-long care for the earth--the literal earth. The soil-and-flower, river-and-tree earth. But not nearly as many are aware that he wrote poems equally as skilled in revealing his care for language--the sounds and rhythms and metaphors that keep us alert to the 'Word made flesh.'" -Eugene H. Peterson

"Loren Wilkinson is one of those native souls to whom the tag 'natural poet' adheres like pollen to a bee's knees. His personal presence and his way of living are models of enthusiasm for the creation and its Creator. He names things in order to bring them to our attention." -Luci Shaw

"Loren Wilkinson is a poet who celebrates his faith as well as the simple things of creation in peasant ways, ever mindful that Christ is sacramentally there as Lord of all Creation. Daily events, then, are always Epiphany." -James M. Houston
